Opening Day Sale

In their effort to increase attendance, the Marlins have brought back their special 25 games for $99 ticket plan for a limited time.

The team offered the special during the winter holiday season and have launched it again for just 72 hours. The sale, which began today, runs through Wednesday. On Tuesday, the team will hold a Select-A-Seat at Dolphin Stadium from 6-10 p.m., during which the 7:05 p.m. Marlins-Washington Nationals game will be broadcast on the stadium scoreboards.

The ticket plan is for all Friday and Saturday games, excluding Friday’s home opener, for seats in the stadium’s upper deck. Fans must purchase a minimum of two plans.

“We’ve got an area of inventory of available seating,” said Sean Flynn, Marlins vice president of marketing. “We’ve created a very low entry point. We wanted to hit [people] over the head with an unbelievable offer.”

MLB PAYROLL

Meanwhile, just in time for Opening Day, the SportsBusiness Journal requested Major League Baseball’s tax return, which shows Commissioner Bud Selig earned $14.5 million in the fiscal year that ended Oct. 31, 2005, the most recent return available. Check out the article.
